HAPPY NEW 2012 YEAR!

i took a break from curating my ‘as seen on etsy’ posts because, honestly… it got a little demoralizing trawling through all those wonderful vintage things and never having the money for them. i think i’ve shaken off those blues and i’m feeling ready to relaunch!
theres no real scientific reason for liking autumnal tones right now; i love yellow (but can’t wear it) and its such a happy, optimistic color. as for the brown and oranges? it just seemed like a simultaneously positive and mellow way to start 2012.

decorate pilgrim: J alphabet series print

April 26th, 2011 | Author: drawpilgrim

i haven’t done a decorate! pilgrim post in a while because, well basically i’m lazy.. and fussy. it takes a lot of trawling through polyvore, and my unconventional tastes mean it takes three times as long for me to find things i like. but after some nice comments on my previous post i made some effort and guess what? i had fun! so feel free to get bossy in the comments any time, readers. its good motivation!

this edition of decorate! pilgrim is created around the J print from my alphabet series. i have a major crush on the yellow and green color combination at the moment. its so fresh and sunny. it’s quite the turnaround considering i used to hate yellow and green together: australia’s colors are “green and gold” and so i’ve seen an awful lot of ugly olympic uniforms in dark green and yellow. but a lime, or kelly green and a warm yellow is truly a thing of beauty, am i right?

clean lines and bold patterns make for maximum impact.

everyone knows the best work is done inside of a daffodil! this office space would never be dull and uninspiring.

what do you think of this color combination? is there a room you most like here – or are you living amongst some yellow and green already?

pilgrim’s place: ‘my place & yours: bedside’

October 26th, 2009 | Author: drawpilgrim

my bedside, pillow-view

this week i thought i would join in on the ‘my place and yours’ meme fun-times, as started by the unstoppable pip from meet me at mikes! so for your voyeuristic pleasure, here is what i wake up to each morning.

starting from the top left corner and going clockwise you can see:

my lovely vintage wallpaper lampshade, from drawflowers ✽ a little solar powered plant that, as much as i try, i just can’t kill ✽ a handy little green and pink mug that holds hairclips mostly ✽ a pink box to store my moisturizer and lip balm etc ✽ current bedtime book ‘the ten cent plague: the great comic book scare and how it changed america’ ✽ the fabulous yellow alarm clock ✽ and last but not least a sweet little plastic box made by swimmer with bunnies and toadstools and hula hoops and filled with earrings that i’m too lazy to put away ✽
